Paintings on the theme of bright future by Mirko Malle are fine-art interpretations of poems resulting from collective work of the international group A. A. I. (Articulacion Artistica Internacional). Here we have a series of abstract works in mixed technique, creating an impression of eruptive cohabitation of fine art elements by means of which the artist tries to express a harmonious relationship between the colouring and the original fine art or poetic idea. A special feature of these works is the fact that they are interactive: the paintings conceived as palimpsests react on the presence of the viewer. An artificial light is activated at the presence of the viewer enabling him or her to read, literally and metaphorically, the image and the text that was previously hidden – this remains the central leading theme of the artist’s work.

 

Mirko Malle was born in Klagenfurt, Austria. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana with the thesis on the visualisation of music, which later led him to designate his work as colour conducting. He works as a painter, performer, illustrator and caricaturist, temporarily also as a mentor of fine art workshops. He accomplished his studies at the Faculdade de Belas Artes in Porto, Portugal. Since 2011 he is a member of the international artistic collective A. A. I. - Articulacion Artistica Internacional, founded in 2009 on the incentive of South American poets, with the aim of cross-genre artistic dialogue and exchange of poetry, philosophy and art.
